Creative Thinking: We’re Just Some Experiments

Countless theories are filling the void of the emptiness we feel whenever we try to think of our origin. When did we arrive? How did we first exist? How on earth had we survived but not the dinosaurs? We know the dinosaurs existed for sure as we have dug up so many dinosaurs’ skeletons in our backyards. We then ponder on how the dinosaurs were killed off. What had killed off the dinosaurs but left us alive? Or, did we come after the existence of the dinosaurs? So on and so on we go, and we go off the rail with theory after theory, unsure of ourselves how on earth we really had come about to exist here on earth.

If I remember correctly, one theory suggests that a sizable enough chunk of space rock such as a meteor could have created a large enough impact on earth’s past to wreck so much havoc on earth’s past ecosystem, thus in the process, the monstrous size of the dinosaurs was the death-knell that killed off the dinosaurs. Basically, the dinosaurs could not sustain their lifeforce while the earth’s ecosystem was in tattered. Not enough foods were around to sustain the predators like the dinosaurs!

Whatever the theory may be, a meteor or an asteroid, diseases or God’s will, we would never be sure how the dinosaurs were extinct since we weren’t there to witness the hellish catastrophe. How did we come into being? It seems the whole human race is still having an amnesia because we don’t remember how we had come into being!

To play this guessing game, I like to suggest the most outlandish, on the par with sci-fi spirit, theory. Imagine when the earth was still at its most primitive stage. The dinosaurs were roaming freely. They would feed on smaller preys and humans weren’t around at all. Of course, I could imagine how ugly such a scene could be to see a dinosaur gnawing, crunching away on a live human, but luckily I think we weren’t around at the time when the dinosaurs roamed as kings.

My theory suggests an alien race descended onto the planet earth, killed off all dinosaurs, spared the more harmless cockroaches and few other harmless animals so the food sources could lay intact and the earth’s ecosystem could survive to nurse the next king of the planet. The aliens then would create an out of this world experiment by planting human seeds at our most primitive stage to see how the whole planet earth would develop thereafter. Perhaps, in the future, the aliens would then revisit our planet earth to check on their amazing experiment. Would the whole human race survive or die off? They could make a bet to each other while they’re making their way here on their super cool spaceship.

If anyone is making a movie, I think my theory is rather cool for such a prospect. Don’t you think so? Anyway, I think my theory seems to be way cooler than other theories that try to explain how the dinosaurs went extinct and how humans came into being on the planet earth! Of course, my theory is way outlandish and got no proof to back the claim up, but how could you disprove that my theory is wrong when all other theories are just mere theories too. Remember, we weren’t there when things got really ugly!
